This course introduces the core principles behind making simple, safe bath and body products at home. It focuses on understanding ingredient roles, basic safety, and why formulas behave the way they do, rather than jumping straight into complex recipes. Topics include foundations for lip balm, balms and salves, massage oils, and other anhydrous body products. Designed for beginners who want to learn properly before experimenting with colour, fragrance, or advanced techniques.

This members-only lesson builds on the free foundation lip balm class and teaches you how to move beyond copying recipes into confident formulation. You’ll work with one professional base formula and learn how to adjust firmness, glide, and feel for different climates, packaging, and uses. The focus is on understanding why ingredients behave the way they do, so you can troubleshoot issues, refine textures, and design reliable lip balms with intention.

Candle Making Basics: Container Candle Foundations focuses on the part of candle making most people skip — how wax type, wick size, and container diameter work together. This course explains why container candles tunnel, soot, overheat, or burn unevenly, and how to prevent those issues by understanding the candle system itself. No recipes, no scent debates — just clear, practical foundations for safe, reliable container candles.
